"WOW, WOW, WOW"
Pros: Amazing Sound
Cons: Needs a battery pack, can't take it on the go
Summary: This thing is AMAZING. I'm one of those people that dislike MP3's that sound tiny. I like to hear good quality music. I plugged this thing in and used it with a pair of cheap noise canceling headphones. I didn't read the directions right off the bat so I had a difficult time getting the music to sound good. Once I scanned the booklet and got the Crystalizer and 3D turned on, my chin was on the floor. All I could say was WOW. I heard things in the music I never heard. I then tried it with my Shure EC2's, and it got even better. I play the Nora Jones CD and was blown away because it was as if she was right in front of me singing. Voices, sounds and instruments hang in space infront of you. If you close your eyes you swear your in the studio. The quality is almost too good as I have to take my headphones off to find out if the sound was real or off my mp3 player.
I took the XMod into work and tried it with a friends Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones and some mp3's ripped at 128k. To say I was amazed again was an understatement. I kept having people come over and listen. I'd turn off the Crystalizer and 3D then turn each on seperately. Not to be redundant when both were enabled everyone of them when, WOW!!!
Ok, now the bad. It can only be used with a laptop or PC unless you get the power adapter. Can someone make a powerpack for this thing??? I'm now spoiled.
I would have giving it a 10 except for the portability drawback.
Creative, build the technology into a 30 gig IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
